The reason it shouldn't be under the a single block device, is that a target
should be able to provide a global address space.
That allows the address
space to grow/shrink dynamically with the disks. Allowing a continuously
growing address space, where disks can be added/removed as requirements grow
or flash ages. Not on a sector level, but on a flash block level.
I don't understand what you mean with a single block device here, but I
suspect we're talking past each other somehow.
Sorry. I meant that several block devices should form a single address
space (exposed as a single block device), consisting of all the flash
blocks. Applications could then get/put from that.
Thanks for your feedback. I'll push the pieces around and make the
integration self-contained outside of the block layer.
